REVEREND SUN MYUNG MOON
SPEAKS ON

LEADERS' MEETING

November 23, 1994
East Garden
Translator - Peter Kim

[Reverend Farley Jones was appointed by Father as the President of
the Family Federation for World Peace, FFWP and Father is asking him if
he understands the contents of that title?]

Since May 1, 1994, Father already announced the title Family
Federation for World Peace. However, America failed to catch that
spirit, and so finally yesterday this leader was inaugurated as the
President of FFWP. Have you heard already from Father the significance
of FFWP? (No, we haven't Father.) It is now 3 p.m. and we began at 10
a.m.; how many hours do you expect Father to speak to you? It is your
opportunity now to say something. (Fifteen hours.) Well, even if you
say fifteen hours, including the translation it is only seven and a
half hours. (Laughter.) That means it will take us two days. Therefore
I urge you to please study Korean. If you don't speak Korean you will
have a difficult time ahead of you.

According to the Divine Principle, due to the Fall of the first
human ancestors, language has been divided into many tongues. However,
originally the Adam culture would have been inherited generation to
generation. That means there would have been one single language: the
Adam language. But due to the Fall there have been struggles, wars and
all such evil things which caused the division of a single language
into many. Even in one single family, the father and mother struggle
and fight, taking opposite positions to one another.

Father has been speaking to the Japanese and Korean leaders in Korea
now for many days and so consequently Father's voice is a little
hoarse. Can you bear with it? (Yes, Father.) Since you are younger
than Father you are obligated to work even harder and longer than
Father. Do you realize that? (Yes.) Do you understand why the
Unification Church leaders are unable to bring new members? We are
so-called "leaders" but the question is, why are we unable to
bring new members? What is the reason? (We are not teaching the
Principle.) From now on our Divine Principle education will be done by
the use of the black Divine Principle book. Why do we need the Divine
Principle book? The biggest advantage to carrying the Divine Principle
book with you wherever you are is that if you feel low spiritually and
are in need of spiritual help, then you can immediately refer to the
Divine Principle book. You can read it and immediately regain spiritual
momentum.

If you were to read twenty or thirty pages of the Divine Principle
black book each day continuously, then your level of spirituality would
go up and continue to rise daily. Can you honestly tell Father how many
times you have read the Divine Principle book, cover to cover, in your
life? Those who have confidence that they have read it over fifty
times raise your hands. How about over ten times? It is clearly not
enough. Of course some people can counsel you, but their source is the
Divine Principle book also. If you have the Divine Principle book
always with you then you can receive your own advice directly from the
source. Therefore, please always refer to the Divine Principle book
before trying anything else.

When former President Eu was writing the Divine Principle book he
wasn't just writing it out of his own head. With Father's input and
supervision it was God's revelation. Not a single word in that book is
from former President Eu's head. Paragraph by paragraph he would bring
it to Father for correction and approval. Therefore spiritually former
President Eu was totally united with True Father and God. It is similar
to this light bulb here; in order for us to have light we need plus and
minus wiring to be connected to our generating plant here in order for
us to have light. It is connected step by step; otherwise we would not
be able to have the luxury of electric light. Likewise, this is the
reason that we need the Divine Principle book.

As history progresses you will see more and more just how
significantly important Father's message is. Therefore we cannot touch
the Divine Principle content. We must understand how preciously we must
take True Father's words. Do you remember, Dr. Young Oon Kim wrote her
own version of Divine Principle to a certain extent? She did not do it
with Father's approval at each chapter. That is why Father didn't
approve it. That particular book was colored, to a certain degree, by
Dr. Young Oon Kim's own understanding of theology and philosophy and
that is why it wasn't approved. That particular book may be a very good
explanation in certain areas both philosophically and theologically,
but her writing was not approved by Father and so spiritually there was
no connection. Therefore, when it comes to even the translation of
Divine Principle book into languages, the meaning can be conveyed but
the spirituality, the essence has to be connected. Without this
essential essence the words are without life.

In this Korean Divine Principle book, which we refer to as the
Korean Black Book, the Principle of Creation takes up seventy pages. If
you wish to lecture even the outline of these Principles of Creation it
would take three hours. Those who have experience will agree with this.
However, we should be able to summarize the essence of this so that we
can give a lecture of the Principles of Creation in fifteen minutes.
That is the idea behind coloring the different sections. Originally
this book was written and edited so that anyone who read it would
understand it. Before former President Eu began writing this Divine
Principle book he gave lectures for three years and eight months for
sixteen hours every single day. Based upon that foundation he began to
write this Divine Principle book under Father's supervision. While
former President Eu was giving these sixteen hour lectures daily,
Father sat in on every single one of them and gave his critique. That
has been the Unification Church's tradition set by Father.

Therefore, if you are a church leader it is most important that you
maintain the standard of lecturing for twenty-four hours in your
church. That is the kind of dedication with which the spiritual world
can connect directly with what you are doing. However, lecturing for
twenty-four hours every single day is virtually impossible. Therefore
have the members of your congregation take turns in reading the
contents of the Divine Principle book twenty-four or sixteen hours a
day. When you give Divine Principle lecture, remember that first and
foremost you are lecturing to the spiritual world, not to the physical
audience. You may have only two or three new-comers but you have to
know that there are thousands of spirit men attending there. Therefore
you have to give your sweat and blood into your lecture. That means
continuation without ceasing.

When we refer to creating the spiritual environment while giving a
lecture, it means that you must be able to mobilize the spiritual world
and then there will be a real spiritual atmosphere present. Do you
understand? (Yes.) Again, remember that you should be able to mobilize
the spiritual world. Of course, after the Fall of Man we still have
conscience; even though we are fallen the conscience is still related
vertically and is the point through which we can mobilize the spiritual
world.

One of the biggest problems that we face here in America is
individualism. Remember that this is a fallen world. The history of
salvation is the history of recreation, but when it comes to the
terminology of recreation you cannot use old material and old concepts.
Rather you need new materials and that means we cannot mix old concepts
with new concepts. Nothing from the past should be connected to that.
It has to be a pure and genuine new source. In order to accomplish
recreation we should be able to reach the original point from which God
created this world. What then is the original point? When it comes to
originality think about the terminology of creation. Creation is not
conjured up out of nothing, but creation began from giving and pouring
out of oneself into that, until eventually you have put everything
out. Putting out means that you sacrifice yourself and give out for
the sake of others. Do you understand? That is the point that we need
to understand.

When God began creating He was totally pouring Himself out for the
sake of others, not bringing something into Himself. Those who pour
everything out for the sake of others are in the position of subject.
But if as a subject you pour everything out for the sake of others, it
does not just stagnate; rather, it naturally turns around and comes
back to you. It is like an injection. However, what we need to
understand is that once you pour out and it turns around and comes back
to you, then that is the moment you should shed your tears of
gratitude. Why? Because when God created the world and, in particular,
man, it wasn't because He needed power and material, but it was because
He needed an object of love. Even God is lonely and sad and was in need
of an object of love. Do you understand? (Yes.)

In Father's life, even though Father has gained a certain amount of
fame internationally, without Mother he would be a very sad and lonely
man. Divine Principle teaches us that God created man and woman and
creation in order to feel joy and happiness. What is the source of
happiness and joy? The object of our love. Again the same question
arises: before you married did you expect and desire for your future
spouse to be inferior to you? (Better.) How much better? (Millions of
times better.) In fact infinitely better than ourselves is our desire.
Is that not true? (Yes.) Where do we receive such a desire? From our
ancestors? The original cause is God because everything derives from
Him. By the same token, even God wanted His object of love to have
infinite possibilities for greatness. Do you agree? (Yes.) Who can be
in the position of object of love to God? Man and woman, of course.

When God created man and woman He poured every ounce of Himself into
the creation of His children. Therefore, this is most important for man
to understand. Since God gave everything to us when He created us, from
our position we should be able to return everything to God with tears
of utmost gratitude. That is the only way that God can return to us
even more. Without that kind of give and take nothing flows. If you
give something to a person and they fail to return any feeling of
appreciation whatsoever, then you don't feel inspired to continue to
give. By the same token, we should be able to return our gratitude and
appreciation to God. This kind of genuine, heart to heart give and take
between God and man must occur before total giving and receiving can
take place. By continuing this give and take action the level will
multiply.

As human beings, we are meant to be the objects of God's love for
eternity and we should be able to go for eternal love. How? By
returning our tears of gratitude to God. We usually shed tears when we
are excited and happy or moved to sadness. When tears are shed in
excitement and joy your spiritual energy is rising up. But when you
shed tears of sadness your energy goes down. Why do we feel sad? The
moment that we experience sadness is the moment that our emotion drops
below the standard line and spiritually we drop down also. The first
tears that human beings shed were tears of sadness because of the Fall.
It was the path to hell rather than heaven because they were cast out
after the Fall. When we receive love from True Parents we should be
able to go even deeper inside of True Parents heart through offering
our joy and love. When we receive love and joy from True Parents and
God we must be able to return it with tears of joy and excitement.
This is the only way that we can continue this love relationship for
all eternity. This is the formula.

As a parent, when you have to go away for a time your children cry,
don't they? What about you, did you have that kind of experience with
your own parents when you were children? (Yes.) But when your parents
returned and you felt the excitement of joy you cried again. When they
stayed with you and you felt good you shed tears of joy some times.
Once you continue having this experience of shedding tears of joy and
happiness with God then you will live with God for eternity. The key
point is our heartistic level. We were created as the true object of
love to God, but because of the Fall we have been going down hill into
hell. However, due to God's grace and love we have found the new
lifeline to be restored and recreated. Therefore we need to establish
now the heartistic level of shedding tears of joy and happiness.

In the scriptures it tells us that unless we become as children we
cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. What does that mean? We have
to understand that particular verse in terms of the relationship
between children and parents. If we are always close in heart with our
Parents then we will shed tears of joy and happiness. When a small
child is separated from his mother he will not forget it until the
mother returns and he again feels the joy and happiness of being with
her. The longer the waiting period the greater the joy and happiness
can be. Just imagine how many tens and thousands of years that God and
man have been separated; do you think that after this amount of
separation that we can just be adopted by God and feel normal? God is
our vertical True Parents. If we truly understand this then can we face
God without genuine tears? Just place yourself in the position of a two
year old child, separated from your parents for a long time; do you
think that the first time you face your parents again that you will
feel normal? Suppose you have the chance to grab hold of your mother's
arm; do you think that you will let go of it again? (No.) The most
fearful thing for that child is being separated again. We should be
able to feel that kind of experience in our life of faith. That is the
key and that is the problem for fallen human beings.

When God created man He poured everything into the creation of His
children. Therefore we should be able to feel that kind of closeness
to God just as a small child feels closeness to his parents. That
relationship should be maintained. That is why mothers give their own
milk to their children joyfully, with no regrets. Mother's milk line is
a pipe line for life. The mother is giving life to her child. When the
baby is sucking milk from its mother's breast it feels happy. We should
remember how precious it was while we were growing, being nurtured by
our own mother's milk. God's heart and mind is exactly like the moment
when a mother is giving her own milk to her child. That was God's state
of mind when He created man and woman. That is the starting point of
the Kingdom of Heaven. Do you understand? (Yes.)

As men we should be able to respect, even revere those mothers who
raise their children. Giving and forgiving over and over, that kind of
life and love. That was the original relationship between man and God,
but due to the Fall everything became cut off. Because of the Fall what
we are seeing is just horizontally, but we should be able to see
vertically also. Even in terms of the true love practiced between a
mother and child, when we are able to see that way our level can go up
and up from the individual all the way up to world wide level.

You need to question yourselves, as church leaders who are supposed
to be in the position of God and parents to your congregations: are you
truly fulfilling these positions? If you are a church leader, do you
truly feel that you love the members of your congregation more than
your own children? Because they are all God's children. When you look
at your own physical children, of course you need to look upon them as
your children, but your congregation members should be looked upon as
God's direct children. Do you truly practice that kind of love? Even
your own children when they grow up will have to follow the path of the
members of your congregation. Do you understand? Your congregation
members are children of God and children of True Parents, but your own
children haven't reached that level yet. In other words you have to
raise God's children out of your own congregation.

If this is the Principle and formula course then let us review our
lives up until now; have we really practiced this? Have we? (No.) That
is why there is a problem. Between you as the leader, in the position
of God and parents, and your congregation there should be a
relationship through which your blood and tears can be communicated to
one another, because your blood and tears represent your love and your
life and sacrifice. Father is referring to blood and tears, but of
course you don't see the blood because it is flowing within your body.
However, if the blood is connected it means internally you are
connected, and through one another's substantial tears you can be
heartistically connected.

Whenever there is a collision, in terms of goodness, in people's
lives and love, there are always tears, either tears of joy or tears of
sadness. It involves some kind of intimate relationship of love and
life when you see tears of either sadness or joy. When we raise our
members we should be able to feel this and we should long for our
members' return to partake of the meal which we have prepared for them.
You should have that kind of motherly heart, longing heart to see those
members again and that longing to give them more food both spiritually
and physically, just as your own parents oftentimes saved good
delicious food for your return and as soon as you arrived joyfully
provided that food for your consumption. That kind of heartistic and
love relationship should exist between you and your members.

The Bible tells us to love our enemy. However, your members are not
your enemy and so consequently you should be able to love them even
more than you would your enemy. The Principle is clear; if you
genuinely offer everything for the sake of others there will be genuine
return. Of course Adam and Eve were created as God's objects of love.
As objects of love they were supposed to return their love to God while
revering and worshipping Him as their subject. We call this bongsa
which in Korean means service for others and heisang means sacrifice.
It means serving with an attitude of respect and reverence. When you
serve your subject of love you need to offer your reverence and respect
as well as your service.

It is like cutting one's own flesh in order to offer it to your
subject. Those are the concepts which we must be able to practice in
our lives. If you want to raise your members as objects of love, then
you should expect them to become infinitely superior to yourself.
Practicing a high level of sacrifice and becoming high level love
partners, is the Principle upon which God created man. God is our
subject and we are clearly in the position of His objects. This means
God is the subject of our love, life, lineage and even our conscience.
But out of these four, love is in the highest position because without
love, life and blood lineage cannot be produced. Love is the
connecting point of everything.

In conclusion, raising your members means recreating man from God's
position. God lost the entire humanity due to the Fall and He is now
recreating man. By the same token we are recreating our members, just
like God. It is a continuation of giving and receiving, investment into
and receiving back from. However, the recipient of our outpouring
should be able to make return by shedding tears of gratitude and joy.
Because of those tears of gratitude then God will turn around and give
back once again. This also applies to our friendships; when a friend
gives something and you really wish to thank him so warmly, then he
will naturally feel like giving something else again. This kind of
human relationship exists.

This formula has to be practiced by us. The very first time that
Father placed his foot on American soil he thought that God had sent
him here to do more than anyone else who had ever lived by offering the
parental heart and parental love for the sake of this entire nation and
people. That is the conviction Father had as his first thought upon
arriving in America. God is in the position of being the center of the
entire universe, and as long as you are connected to Him and are
practicing the same principles, the entire universe will be united with
you. After that first thought which Father had upon his arrival here,
wherever Father went or whatever he saw, that particular thought was
always practiced by Father. Father is wondering how many Americans from
the past or present have lived with the same dedication to this country
and people as Father?

In general Americans claim that they love this nation, but they are
all focused upon their own particular assets. They have their own
houses and try to multiply their own wealth. But from God's point of
view He is investing absolutely everything for this nation and world.
There is an imbalance there between these two ways of thinking and
being. Through Jesus God wanted to build the Kingdom of Heaven on earth
starting in Israel. Jesus was God's son and the Jewish people were
God's chosen people and from this point God wanted to save the entire
world.

It is crystal clear; if you are placed in the position and are
practicing service with respect and a sacrificial lifestyle, then you
are in the position of the central figure. That is the universal law.
That is why Father is launching this campaign for the entire
Unification movement worldwide to practice this very spirit of service
with respect and sacrifice. Then automatically Unification Church
members will become the central figures for the world. Why? Because
this is God's position. Do you understand? God has this kind of
attitude and if we adopt the same attitude then we automatically
connect with God and we will receive His protection. Is this clear?
(Yes.)

It is the universal law that if you keep investing with genuine
heart, it automatically returns to you. This is what creates this
circular motion. Once you observe a certain motion there is generally
a diminishing of the energy, but because of this give and take, this
circular motion, it increases the energy centered upon True Love. Even
in the world when you have a horizontal lineal movement then the energy
level diminishes and eventually disappears. But because of this kind
of give and take relationship, if you continuously create motion then
the energy level increases. Of course this must be centered upon True
Love. It isn't like a physical movement, but because of the True Love
center that it increases.

The history of restoration is the history of the recreation
process. We should be in the position of God as a re-creator. Do you
understand? By doing so we can invest again and forget. This perpetual
movement of investing and forgetting will continue in a love
partnership. When it comes to love partners we refer here to either
parent and child or husband and wife. We have two different objects of
our love. And, as the central figure who is initiating this recreation
process, you have to be able to love and recreate your members more
than you do for your wife and children. This is the only way that God
can work through you. Without that relationship nothing is possible.
Just as when you are really longing for your parents and brothers and
sisters you sometimes shed tears without realizing it. You should be
able to do that for your members while you are raising them. That
particular genuine heartistic relationship is the treasure with which
you can raise your members. Otherwise your spiritual level will
decline. If you simply sit there in the position of the central figure
and subject in the position of God waiting for people to offer
something to you, then you are doomed to lose. That is Satan's
position. God gives out while Satan takes in. Do you understand?

This is a very important teaching Father is giving to us today.
Because we have been lacking in this particular practice, then our
movement didn't grow. Therefore this is a very essential teaching for
us. Do you agree? (YES!) As a local church leader, for example, if you
have a prayer room such as this, while your members are working
outside, from early morning in the dawn your prayer room floor must not
be dry. Your tears should be there each and every morning. Your genuine
tears and love always travel together. Do you understand? (Yes.) You,
big brother, do you understand? When Father looks upon us from this
standard, then none of us are qualified to be in the position of
leaders. But unless we turn around and reach that level which Father is
expecting from us, our children will not have a good future. They will
even become crippled.

Because of the sin of the Fall, the Old Testament era, New Testament
era, and Completed Testament era have appeared. Because of our sin.
Since the Fall of man our sin has been accumulating like a huge
mountain. Because of man's desire to reduce the level of sin,
throughout history they have made burnt offerings and ceremonies and
rituals such as that. Even when it comes to Jesus he offered his own
life for the sake of fallen mankind. The same principle applies to
Father's life. When it comes to our own life, Father has been giving us
so much, but if we don't realize what we are doing and if we fail to
return the proper loving gratitude towards Father, then we are doomed.

Even after the Fall, because God created man, He has been
responsible for mankind, sometimes directly and sometimes indirectly
trying to restore them back. Likewise, since Father has been offering
everything for us, if we fail to realize this and don't return our love
to God through Father, the consequences of this will befall even
Father's family. Because of God's sadness, indemnity must occur. It may
affect Father's family. The same principle applies to us, that since
Father has given everything to us we now stand in the position of
central figures, parents and God. If we fail to practice the same
principle of giving, then our children will have to pay indemnity for
us. How can this be avoided? If you feel that you have received
approximately ten percent, then make sure that you give back more than
ten percent. Then if a certain amount does not come back to you, still
you did the best that you could. Then you are secure. You didn't have
to give fifteen percent, but you did and so now you have five percent
extra. That is the kind of margin you can work with, or you can go
even further and give more. You are doing for the sake of the other
person and that is how he is able to make return and create a circular
motion. That is why the very concept of loving one's enemy is the
essence of truth. Instead of punching someone you have to give them
more. That means you want to take responsibility for that particular
enemy, and fill up the gap.

The Washington Times is practicing the very same spirit of loving
one's enemy for the sake of this nation. This country was trying every
possible way to crucify Father, but instead of taking revenge on
America, Father offered more through the Washington Times. That is how
Father has returned, and that is how we can pay the proper amount of
indemnity so that both can survive. Because of this very principle,
Father's own family have been sacrificed greatly. Father offered Heung
Jin Nim to the spiritual world and yet Father's immediate family is
still suffering. It is indemnity paid by Father's family. Therefore, if
Father were not here there would be a big problem. God has been paying
indemnity for others all throughout history. Without God what else is
there? Do you understand? (Yes.)

Without complying with this very principle which Father is teaching
us today, we cannot stand in the position of central figure, parent and
God. If, as a church leader, you sit comfortably at home while your
members are shedding their tears and blood on the front-line, making
even one more penny of money, trying to do even one more minute of
spiritual work, then you will be damned by God and your children will
be taken by Satan. This is the reason that it is a fairly common
phenomena today that these famous T.V. evangelists' children are not so
good. When these T.V. evangelists do their work they make a lot of
money, but where do they spend that money? It is usually spent for
their own sake and as a consequence their children's lives are not so
good. Instead of spending that money for themselves they should be
spending it for the nation.

This is a very critical and important message today. Until you
practice the principles which Father is teaching you here, you will
never understand what kind of life-long work of tears and blood that
Father has shed behind the scenes for the sake of God and humanity. Do
you understand? Again, because we didn't live up to this standard there
is no improvement within this movement. When Father first announced
this 160,000 Japanese women leaders education program not a single
church leader believed Father. Every one of them thought that it was an
impossible task because after one month of effort in trying to mobilize
people to attend Father's training, we ended up with 380 people. That
was the first result. Even True Mother herself quietly suggested to
Father that he cease the program right there because it looked
impossible.

Father's question was, how much did we invest and dedicate ourselves
in order to accomplish the goal of bringing people? Father was so
serious. He invested himself one hundred percent twenty-four hours a
day seriously, so then the people underneath him naturally had to be
pulled up to the level of seriousness which Father was practicing. In
the end 7,148 people attended, because the number gradually increased
to that level. This is more than reality. This is not a concept. I made
this foundation from this reality, not out of concepts. I have created
this kind of foundation by using God's original creation essence of
investing everything. Do you understand Father?

Once again, the universal law is if you are the person who offers
service with respect and sacrifice then you are the central figure. But
in the communist world we hear that what is mine is yours and what is
yours is mine. Then what is the difference between that and our
concept? We say that what is mine is for the sake of my family, my
family is for the sake of the tribe, the tribe is for world and God,
and God is for me. God's love is mine. Step by step make sure that you
are the central figure by investing ten for the sake of your family;
then you are the central figure there; your family offers ten for the
tribe and becomes the central family for your tribe; the tribe offers
ten for the sake of the nation and so on. This is the only way that we
can occupy God's heart and God's love can be mine from the bottom rung
of this ladder all the way up to the top.

If Father gives you more perhaps you will forget. Therefore, maybe
this is enough for today. (NO.) Do you think so? (Little more, Father.)
In a way you have received so much from Father but you have not
practiced it. This makes you like robbers or thieves. Do you clearly
understand why the American Unification Church didn't grow? (Yes.) The
very reason that thousands of members left is because we failed to
practice this principle. The reason why American people are becoming
more and more individualistic day by day is because they don't
understand this principle. Satan is pulling them away. If this trend
continues in this nation then America is doomed to perish. Who can
reverse this trend? Only the Unification Church members can. It is your
responsibility. If you are truly serious then you won't be able to stop
shedding tears even when walking on Fifth Avenue.

When we discover that a member of our family has cancer we shed
tears out of sadness, but here in America the entire population has
cancer, so how can you lead your lives normally? If we truly and
seriously take this as a reality, how can we just eat and sleep? We
cannot lead normal lives knowing this reality. In order for a tree to
grow taller the nutrition must go through the root system and come back
and re-distribution takes place. Instead of doing this, as individual
branches we are trying to grow without going through the root.
Eventually these branches will wither up and die. Individualism causes
us to think only of our individual selves or our individual families.
It is like a small branch trying to survive without being connected to
the root. It is impossible. This is the problem of this society.
Without practicing this principle, America is doomed to perish. But
once you practice this particular principle which Father has explained
to you today, it doesn't matter whether you belong to the Unification
Church or not; wherever you may go, you will survive and flourish in
whatever you do. As long as you continue to practice this principle you
will always be ahead of everyone else. You will always try to do
something which nobody else wants to do.

Once again Father wants to emphasize, the reason why our movement
here in America has failed to grow is because we have failed to
practice this principle. Father doesn't feel like continuing to speak
because even if he gives more he doesn't see that you have borne fruit.
It is like a mother's breast full of milk which has to be sucked out by
a baby. Father doesn't feel that you are sucking the milk he is trying
to give you. The water has not been flowing and it has stagnated now.

These are the Last Days that we are living in now, and at the end of
history we will witness more and more the destruction of families. This
will occur because of Satan's final challenge. The only hope is through
the Unification movement, centering upon sacrificial love and family
values. Humanity has no other place to go except to the Unification
Church. The whole world is lacking this central God-centered concept.
This kind of phenomena will happen more rapidly from now on. Therefore,
this is the reason that this time has been labeled the era of the
global village. However, Unificationists call it the era of the global
family. It is like a Cain and Abel relationship existing there. Within
the concept of global village there is no central concept and no
central figure; these exist only within the concept of a global family.
This is the reason why Father has established the Family Federation for
World Peace. In Korean we call this Kajong Yonhop. [Father writes on
the board.] This is the dispensation of restoration with eight
different levels. As you progress through these stages, if at any time
you stop practicing then you go back to the original point and repeat
again. However, if you continue without stopping then you can proceed,
one step at a time, higher and higher. These eight different stages
represent the entire human history.

Without the Fall of Man it could have taken just twenty years to
reach the pinnacle. [Father indicates on the board.] The biblical
history calculates approximately 6000 years, but in reality it was more
than tens of thousands of years. Without the establishment of one
genuine, sinless person it took thousands of years until history found
one central man. Even after the establishment of one sinless person,
still that person has to wait until he establishes the family level.
This is how progress occurs in the dispensation of restoration. Even
though it may take millions of years, still they must wait. If God were
allowed to come in at any stage and turn everything around, then He
could have done so by now. But the Principle prevents God from doing
this. The Fall was committed by human beings, and so men and women have
to resolve this problem, not God.

Because of the Fall restoration has taken place up until this
point. [Father indicates by drawing on the board.] This left section
represents the Satanic family. The formation stage, corresponding to
the Old Testament era, represents the Satanic family. The second stage,
which represents the New Testament age, is equivalent to the satanic
national level. Only beyond this satanic national level, [Father draws
on the board.] can the heavenly family level begin. The level at which
Unification Church members receive blessing is at the satanic national
level. Then we strive towards the line beyond that which can begin the
heavenly family level. [Father indicates on the board.] It is at the
growth stage where we receive the blessing because the Fall occurred at
this level. After we receive the blessing we have a certain distance to
cover in order to go beyond the growth level stage. In other words, we
come out of the realm of Satan and go beyond it. Upon receiving
blessing we begin as a heavenly archangel family and grow up, beyond
this line [indicating on the board]. Even Father's own family began at
this level in 1960 and Father reached this line by the year 1980.

During this period Father set the three seven year course periods.
Upon the completion of these three seven year courses he reached this
level [indicating to the board]. Because of that victorious foundation,
in 1992 for the first time, Father proclaimed the Women's Federation
for World Peace. Up until this point, the dispensation was that of
restoring Adam and so Mother could not surface. The archangel
represents the male character and Father had to spend time up until
this point [indicating to the board] without Mother surfacing. However,
upon the completion of this restoration period then Mother surfaced.
Because of that victorious foundation, in 1992 for the first time, the
perfected man True Father, and perfected woman True Mother, declared
the True Parents and the Completed Testament Age worldwide. By
proclaiming this significant organization in 1992 it has enabled anyone
who stands on the same line as True Parents to be at the same level.
That is why Father could declare the era for the liberation of women.

Because of Eve's sin in the beginning, then historically women have
been under male dominion and mistreatment. But now, due to this new era
of the Completed Testament Age, women can enjoy being with True Father
and True Mother in the same time period. The satanic world cannot give
strong opposition any more and 1992 became the dividing line for all of
this. Based upon this foundation, Father has declared this year The
Safe Settlement of True Parents and the Completed Testament Era. This
fallen world exists presently at eight different stages from the
individual up. Because of the appearance of True Parents at this time
in history, they are establishing a super highway through all of these
eight stages. This is a vertical view [indicating to the board] but we
can also view these eight different levels horizontally. In other
words, instead of having these eight different levels vertically, the
entire humanity can be standing on the same level horizontally with
True Parents here. This means that the failure of Adam and the failure
of Jesus Christ have been restored by the appearance of True Parents in
the world.

These three different stages of Old Testament era, New Testament era
and Completed Testament era are equivalent to returning to the original
point of Adam and Eve. Due to Father's victory instead of each level
being disconnected, they are now all connected. From Father's point of
view these represent the first Adam, second Adam and third Adam
(Father). [Father continues to draw on he board to illustrate this.]
When we spread out these three different levels of Adam, we are able to
see first Adam, second Adam and third Adam. However, if we look down
vertically then the first Adam and second Adam are within the third
Adam's boundary. Due to this victory Father can spread out and show you
clearly how these are all connected. When this vertical view is spread
out over a horizontal view, you will be able to see this. What Father
is drawing now indicates that once this first, second and third Adam
are completed, perfected, then all three Adam's can be included.
Eventually there will be no boundaries, no different stages but one
genuine Adam.

The relationships indicated in this diagram may be looked at
differently, the top representing the Old Testament era, this
representing the New Testament era and here the Completed Testament
era. [Father is drawing on the board to indicate the point.] Can you
see the relationship now through this? This is the vertical view of
the relationship among these three. Now Father is drawing, spreading it
out horizontally, and we can see the relationship between these three
from this view. You can connect the relationship from vertical to
horizontal by drawing the corresponding lines. This Old Testament era
is 2000 years, the New Testament era is 2000 years and after 2000 years
the Completed Testament era begins. As you know, at each level it took
2000 years and these three together makes 6000 biblical years. However,
from God's point of view they are all three children of God. When we
speak of three children of God, they can be elder brother, younger
brother and youngest brother all belonging to one generation. That is
why Father had to indemnify this 4000 years of biblical history within
forty years. Within his own generation he had to accomplish this in
order to have them stand in the same position as Father.

The Fall occurred in one single family and has become the 6000 years
of human history. Now Father is turning it around and indemnifies this
entire human history within the one generation, within forty years, to
make them all into one generation with Father. Like one family. Adam
was supposed to pay the proper indemnity in order to restore his own
family level. However, Jesus was at the national level and Father is at
the worldwide level. Once Father completes his mission then all of them
can receive the same blessing of belonging to the same generation as
Father. Centering upon God they represent the three children, the same
brothers living as one family and doing the same work together. If
anything comes from God to Father then Adam and Jesus can share evenly
with Father. Of course Father is at the worldwide level, but
spiritually it is as one family level.

Through this Father has set the condition that the entire human
family can stand on the same line with him. These small lines or dots
[Father has drawn on the board] represent all the different people in
different times and even those in the spiritual world. All of these
different generations can stand on the same line with Father. The
reason is that their ancestors, Adam and Eve, now received the
condition of victory through Father, allowing their descendants to
naturally belong to the same level. Anything which belongs to the
parents, the children naturally will own. Do you understand? That is
the way in which Father can combine the entire humanity at the
worldwide level and marry them all together.

Throughout history, up until this time, there has not been anyone
who was able to live with the True Parents' family, not even at the
time of Jesus. Because of Father's victorious foundation of
establishing True Family here in this one generation, now is the time
when the entire humanity have the opportunity to live together with
True Parents' family in the same generation. Without falling, in this
time period serving True Parents' family, and in accordance with the
Principle given by True Parents, then they can all enter into the
Kingdom of God. What is the meaning of the Fall? It means a wrong or a
satanic marriage. Through this wrong marriage they established false
parents, false lineage and false consciousness. Therefore, centering
upon True Parents with True Love they can all be married and engrafted.
There are three steps to take: first, the restoration of the lineage;
secondly, the restoration of your possessions; and third, the
restoration of your heart, shimjung. This represents your tribal
level. The concept of nation is a little too far away, but as long as
you have your tribe then you have a strong enough foundation upon which
you can stand.

Based upon the family level, if you have twelve tribes you can claim
people and then a nation. By receiving True Parents' blessing we begin
as a heavenly archangel, but prior to the blessing everyone belongs to
the satanic family. After 1992, centering upon True Parents' family,
which is the heavenly family, three different stages were established:
the satanic family, then the heavenly archangel family, and then the
heavenly Adam's family. We as Blessed couples are still struggling
along at this level here [indicating to the diagram on the board] from
the heavenly archangel level to the heavenly Adam's family level. Once
you decide to follow Father, if you give your absolute faith, you can
easily go over this level and receive the blessing and go up higher. At
the time of the Fall Adam lost the level of absolute faith and the
level of absolute heart (shimjung). In other words he was not totally
united with God.

Because of the absolute foundation which Father established after
1992, now the heavenly family has been established and so the Family
Federation for World Peace has been inaugurated. When was the
Unification Church established? 1954. If we count seven years from
1945 we arrive at 1952. From that year Father took forty years to
indemnify the entire 4000 years of history of restoration which ended
in 1992. If we subtract seven years from 1992 it is like the seven year
course from 1945 to 1952. Do you see the reasoning there? Then from
1992 if we add seven more years we will reach the year 2000. In terms
of counting the number of years, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999,
the year 2000 will make seven years in total. Right after World War II
America practically unified the whole of Christianity but failed to
accept Father and establish the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. After forty
years of dispensation this is the time equivalent to 1945. This is the
seven years course, including this year.

Because of the significance of this time, Father established the
Women's Federation for World Peace and this year the Family Federation
for World Peace and horizontally it has spread out. Now the unification
of the world can take place through unifying all of these families on
the horizontal level. The Family Pledge which we recently received and
have begun reciting has come out of this forty years of victory of
indemnification. In order for us to be qualified to recite the Family
Pledge we should be able to reach this level, beyond this third level
here [indicating to the board]. In the realm of the perfected Adam's
family we connect with God's True Love and the True Love of True
Parents. Centering upon True Parents, now we have to be connected to
True Life, True Love and True Lineage which is exactly the opposite
position of the fallen world. That is our beginning point. Because of
the Fall of Man our mind and body have separated, husband and wife,
children and parents all have become separated. But through True Love
we can all be totally united again. Do you understand? (Yes.)
Therefore, as a family, if you want to be qualified to recite the
Family Pledge correctly, then your mind and body must be united, your
couple must be united, and children and parents must be united.

Without this kind of unity among your family members, even though
you may recite the Family Pledge, Satan will still always be with you.
The Family Pledge should be recited upon the victorious foundation of
these relationships. Based upon this Family Pledge now Father is
championing the Family Federation for World Peace at a worldwide level.
Therefore Father is establishing a new tradition here. From now on, in
each family, Blessed couples should have worship service within your
family on the first day of each month and the fifteenth day of each
month. If you don't have children you begin as husband and wife. After
having children you must teach them the tradition also and demonstrate
your unity to your children. It is like God in front of Adam and Eve.
At the time of Adam, God could not interfere with Adam's fallen act
because they were at different levels. But because of Father's
victorious foundation we, as Blessed couples, are in the realm of
heavenly Adam's family. If anything goes wrong we can intercept it and
correct it. This is direct dominion.

We are living in the era of the heavenly Adam's family and this
means that we must practice what the Family Pledge is teaching us. In
each number we start centered upon True Love. What is number one of the
Family Pledge? We seek our original homeland and establish the Kingdom
of God. What about number two? Of course number two also begins with
the words "Centered upon True Love." Number two refers to
restoring our lost sovereignty of the land. It explains that Adam and
Eve make the central family as well as the representative family of all
humanity. God, two circles representing Adam and Eve, [drawing on the
board] and centered upon God they have to become united. The marriage
represents only one man and one woman becoming totally united. That is
why we say that man is a microcosm, the seed which establishes the
family level. As fruits there may be many different families, but the
value of each is the same.

If America consists of two hundred and forty million people and you
marry as an ordinary person, you consider yourselves to be one couple
out of probably one hundred and twenty million couples in America. That
is the usual concept which people have when they marry in the world.
They never think of their marriage as a representative marriage of the
entire humanity for the past, present and the future, even including
those in the spiritual world. You have to consider yourselves to be the
only man and only woman representing the entire humankind. Because when
it comes to the individual marriage, they represent the entire
humanity; they are sitting on top of the entire humanity, directly
representing God and humanity. That is why the same value of the
entire humanity is given to that particular marriage.

Adam and Eve had three children and so that means there was
potential for three marriages. If each marriage produced three
children, the multiplication would have continued. As Father is showing
us here through this chart [indicating to the board] once this love
flows from Adam and Eve to their children, and from their children to
their grandchildren, that flow is steady and the same in terms of
value. There is no difference, because the flow is from God. Do you
follow? That is why when it comes to marriage you have to think that
you are the only man representing the entire humanity, that you are the
only woman in the eyes of God. The first love is only one man and one
woman relationship. This is applicable between God and us. If mankind
had been educated from the elementary school level to the middle, high
school and college with this kind of educational system, then the world
would be entirely different today.

The first love began from God, Adam and Eve relationship and is
therefore absolute, because that is the only one man, one woman
relationship in front of God. Do you understand? When it comes to
blessing, that very blessing concept derives from this kind of
relationship between God and Adam and Eve. That is why a husband must
be only one, a wife must be only one from the beginning to the end and
children must only be between the two of them, nothing else. If human
history had begun in that way, without the Fall, then every child would
have become filial sons and daughters and patriots, and naturally
everything would have been connected in this way. The extension of that
kind of family would have been the three great kingships and four great
realms of heart. It would have become like a textbook of teaching for
generation after generation. Everybody would have become that kind of
perfected man and woman. This is the concept of the royal family. What
that means is, that after you restore yourself and your family then the
people who belong to Satan should be restored to you so that you can
take them along with you into the Kingdom of God. That is the way that
you restore elder sonship. The Cain people in the satanic world are in
the position of younger brother and so you would have more younger
brothers. That is the way in which we reverse the position of elder
sonship.

You, the direct children, should be able to bring the Cain children
from the satanic world together with you into the Kingdom of Heaven. Do
you understand? You bring your generation and your children's
generation and your grandchildren's generation until the entire satanic
world is restored. That is why the Adam and Eve family is the
representative family. But when they come down to the horizontal level
[drawing on the board] they become the central family. Then all of
these different levels, from the individual to the worldwide level,
would be perfected. From the individual view: the individual, family,
tribe and worldwide level. Do you follow Father? (YES.) The family is
the model and from that point the expansion takes place from tribal,
national and worldwide levels. At the family level it was reversed and
so at that level we have to make it right side up again. This is why we
need the Family Federation for World Peace established. Do you
understand that Adam's family is supposed to be in the position of the
representative family, and at the same time at the horizontal level,
the central family of humankind? We must have the conviction that my
family is the representative family of this entire humankind and at the
same time the central family of mankind. Do you understand? (Yes.) If
we are truly the children of God then we should have that kind of
quality, don't you agree? (Yes.) As Blessed couples, if you want to
join the true Adam's family, then we must be able to practice what the
Family Pledge teaches us. Do you follow Father? (YES.)
